One clave rests loosely cupped in the palm so the hand acts as a resonating chamber, and the other strikes it. Grip the resting clave too tightly and the tone dies. Held correctly, a dense hardwood pair like this produces a sharp, high crack that carries across a room. At 8 inches these sit in the standard range and suit players moving from a school program into working Latin percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTycoon Percussion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTVW-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstrument type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClaves, pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCharacter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright, cutting, short decay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlaying method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne held cupped, struck with the other\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Claves Used For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaves state the clave pattern, the rhythmic key that organises Afro-Cuban and Latin music.
